    You're 20 then. Okay.

    Instead of asking, "Is 20 too young to have a baby", as this...

    Do you think you're mature enough to have a child?

    Let me tell you, ? holds you down tight. Money wise and stress wise. You know what comes with a baby, I ain't really got to tell you but it isn't as easy as it sounds.

    My 1st, fussy as all hell. Never slept through the night, woke up at 5am everyday, never failed!

    My 2nd, born with congenital heart disease. Went through 3 open heart surgeries. 1st one at 2 weeks old. Imagine that ? man, 1 in 100,000 babies are born with it and ? decided to make mine one of 'em. He didn't walk until like 2. Didn't eat, he ate through a tube. He was a very difficult baby.

    (now I'm not saying you're gonna have one like me but I'm just giving a heads up, ANYTHING can happen. Are you ready for this if this was to happen?)

    3rd, peaceful as can be. I'd say 1 in a million type lol and he is now 3 months.

    But dude, it isn't easy. You'll need to hold down a job tight. Formula? Try like 25$, diapers? like what now, 13-30$ (depends if you're going for the cheapies)

    etc etc etc

    never ends lol

    If you think you're ready, then dude, make your clone lol but it's one hell of a ride but super seriously worth it.

    I feel u b. It's like I see some of my partners having their first kid now and they tell me they got something to live for now u feel me? Like their baby is giving them motivation and meaning to their once meaningless life. I just don't wanna wait to long and if something happens to me, I won't have someone to carry on the name and legacy u feel me b? I guess I do gotta think about this some more though. Babies aint cheap, ya aint lyin son.

    I feel you, I have 3, 2 or 'em are 4 and soon to be 6 and those two are hell lol but when you have kids and love 'em unconditionally it's amazing. Kid's are worth the hassle for me, I matured quickly enough once we found out she was pregnant.

    Good luck though man, in whatever you choose.

    It's all about the money for supporting the child, since most people be broke till they hit there high 20s into there 30s then most likely having a kid at age 20 is way to young.

    It's not all about the money son. I'm wealthy in other aspects of my life. I don't place my life value or life timeline on how much money I have in the bank man. And I think my future baby just hopes he has a father that loves him!
